Rejected petition There should only be allowed 5 chickens per coop
I believe that it is extremely upsetting that these poor fluffy beauties are being crammed into one small enclosure. Chickens deserve the same rights as humans and should be allowed more space.
More details
Obviously, if this coop is like the size of Buckingham Palace, then it is acceptable to have more than 5 chickens in this location. However, an average coop should only hold 5 chickens to provide a nicer environment for them to live in, as this is practically battery farming!!!
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the conditions in which chickens are kept, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for a legal minimum size of coop for a specific number of chickens.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
